Bad news for us nurses who wishes to immigrate to the US.
Starting January 2005, BCIS will implement cut off dates for EB3 category. That means they will go backward to 2002. If our priority dates are after the cut off date of somewhere in 2002, then it means a long wait for us to get are visas.
Since the Philippines, China anbd India fall under the category of oversubscribed countries for immigrant visas then we are affected.
